i'm 14 yrs old 5'6" in height 150 lbs in weight.?
Question:
I have really large and heavy bones, my fat isnt saggy and its rather hard to pinch. My metabolism slowed down and my appetite increased since I started taking medical steroids for my asthma to maintain it since I have chronic asthma so its relatively hard to lose weight.
Any suggestions? Diets?
Answers:
Healthy food for weight loss
Is it possible to eat more food and actually lose weight? Absolutely, if you eat more of healthy foods than empty calorie foods (junk food).
Not everyone realizes that you do not have to deprive yourself in order to lose weight. What you have to do is eat more of healthy foods, leaving less room for "bad" foods. If you eat healthy foods - meaning foods high in vitamins and nutrients and are flavorful - you will find that you want less of high calorie or empty calorie foods. Having a variety of foods that you like and want to eat makes it easier to maintain any changes you make to your diet.
When making any changes to the way you eat, do so slowly and don't criticize yourself if your changes take time to become a habit. Study after study has shown that making small changes is what counts. One change at a time will be easier to accomplish and stick with than making a lot of changes all at once. Every little change you make will bring benefits to your health and your waistline.
Here are some changes you can make one at a time that can give you quick weight loss results:
* Eat breakfast
A lot of people skip breakfast. This is a big mistake if you are trying to lose weight. Studies show that those who do not eat breakfast will overeat later in the day. Also, eating breakfast gets your metabolism going, and so whatever is eaten in the morning is metabolized better. If you are not a breakfast eater, try a fruit smoothie or other nutritional shakes.
* Drink water
Try to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. Ice water is best because it will speed up your metabolism. Water is, of course, calorie free and flushes out fat. And lastly, drinking water about a half hour before eating will curb your hunger and will make it less likely that you will overeat.
* Add vegetables
Adding vegetables to some of your favorite dishes is a good way to get in some extra servings of veggies every day. Some examples are: sauces, soups, omelets, sandwiches, and salads. Of course, vegetables make a great snack by themselves or dipped in low-calorie dressings.
* Try to eat more salads
If you're anything like I used to be, as soon as I heard the word "salad," I would immediately think "boring!" That is until I figured out how creative one can be when making a salad. Try adding new vegetables that you haven't tried before or adding boiled eggs, strips of grilled chicken, cheese, and/or nuts. Keep fresh lettuce and spinach leafs on hand, and remember to go easy on the dressing or make your own healthy salad dressing. A healthy and great tasting dressing is mixed olive oil and lemon juice.

just guess how u looks at the age 19 after 5 years/
at your age, it is hard not to want to eat all the goodies life can offer. But, if you are really concerned, just do like what my Aunt used to advise, and don't eat anything that tastes good lol...good luck
It sounds like the weight comes from muscle rather then fat, that's okay. If you're unsure check with your doctor.
Instead of starting from a diet point of view, start from a sports point of view. Join a sport that you can practice systematically (A good idea is some of the oriental martial arts. If you like music try the Brazilian Capoeria): Then develop a diet as suggested by the sport instructor.
Leave the pound issue. It is more important how you look, not how much you weigh! So stop comparing yourself to other people... By the way, people of all sizes are needed to keep the world interesting... Do exercises, run, etc. and just keep yourself in shape!
It sounds to me like you are just big boned, as your fat isn't saggy, etc. Seeing as you have chronic asthma, i assume you wouldn't be able to jog? Jogging is really good for toning the buttocks and thighs, but if you cannot do this, you may like to try exercises at home, such as push ups, sit ups, crunches, etc.
Have you had your "growth spurt yet " 12 I was 5' 4" and in one year i grew to 5 ' 10" ,I am now 6 ' 1" and 46 yrs old.
Not only did I have a growth spurt which helped distribute my weight within one year,I was a heavy kid at school in grammar school,but in 8Th grade and high school i thinned out,but I started to gain weight again when I was 18.
Most of weight problems actually are hereditary,so yes you can blame your parents if you want,but it is up to you also.
I would suggest signing up in sports at school even if you don't think you can make the team. Sports are so competitive at the high school level,and coaches can sometimes be mean also and only pick the fastest,thinnest kids.
I was very active in sports at 12 through about 17 years old and maintained a good weight level. When I started working is when I actually gained weight as a youngster.
Skating ,rollerblading,ice skating,basketball,volleyball,... are all excellent sports to consider. If you have these available to you take advantage in them at school even if you don't think you can make the team,I know i repeated myself but be diligent on this and don't get discouraged because the weight will come off believe me .
As long as u stay active and exercise you should be OK.
Don't fret the size of yourself,when you get older you'll find some
men like women with a little extra weight.
Im only 12 and even I know muscle weighs more than fat. If ur atheletic then u probally have a lot of muscle. this is why u feel heavier.
